Electric vehicle maker Canoo, which recently moved its headquarters to Texas, said Friday it is opening “approximately” 150 new positions — nearly doubling its team ahead of production start.
The company has been working on several pilot programs with major U.S. fleet operators over the last years and it aims to start mass production in some months. Following the previous earnings conference call, Wall Street analysts said they expect the EV startup to start production between late this year and early 2025.
Amid the move to Texas, Canoo has offered relocation to 137 of the 194 employees at its California facility, either to Texas or Oklahoma.
